As the founder of Institute 193, a non-profit contemporary art space in Kentucky, and the director of the Souls Grown Deep Foundation in Georgia, Phillip March Jones is a very active presence in the thriving photography culture of the American South. Despite his busy career, Jones' newest book is about slowing down. 'Points of Departure' is a collection of Polaroid photographs taken prior to the stock's discontinuation in 2008, which documents memorials on the sides of highways, interstates, main-streets and back roads. Jones' images are evidence of lives past--silent tributes that we speed past on a daily basis, barely meriting a glimpse in the rear-view mirror. This volume, handsomely produced by the august Jargon Society, offers a gently haunting portrait of these often ephemeral memorials, drawing out their folk-art qualities and the warmth of their modest presence.
